CAPE    CATALOGUE,    i84o. 


The  Royal  Observatory,  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  was  established  by  an  Order 
in  Council,  dated  1820,  October  20.  The  Observatory  buildings  were 
completed,  the  instruments,  similar  to  those  at  that  time  in  use  at 
Greenwich,  mounted,  and  observations  commenced  in  1829. 

The  Rev.  F.  Fallows,  the  first  director,  died  in  July,  1831,  and  the 
observations  made  during  his  tenure  of  office  will  be  found  in  the  memoirs 
of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society,  Vol.  xix.,  which  was  published  in  1851. 
The  Catalogue  contains  the  Right  Ascensions  of  425  Stars  and  the  North 
Polar  Distances  of  88. 

Fallows  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  Thos.  Henderson,  who  however  remained 
at  the  Cape  but  little  more  than  a  year,  having  resigned  the  appointment 
in  1833. 

The  declinations  of  172  Stars,  made  during  his  tenure  of  office,  were 
published  at  Edinburgh  in  1835  ;  and  the  Right  Ascensions  of  174  Stars 
were  given  in  Vol.  xv.  of  the  memoirs  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society, 
which  was  published  in  1844. 

Mr.  Henderson  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  (now  Sir  Thomas)  Maclear,  who 
arrived  at  the  Cape  on  the  5th  of  January,  1834. 

The  present  Catalogue  contains  the  results  of  the  Star-observing  at  the 
Royal  Observatory,  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  (now 
Sir  Thomas)  Maclear,  during  the  years  1834  to  1840,  both  inclusive. 

The  Right  Ascensions  were  all  made  with  the  Dollond's  Transit,  which 
was  mounted  by  Fallows  in  1828,  immediately  after  the  erection  of  the 
Observatory  buildings.  The  plates  carrying  the  Y's  rest  upon  substantial 
stone  piers.  There  are  screws  for  the  adjustment  of  the  instrument  in 
level  and  azimuth.  The  focal  length  of  the  telescope  is  nearly  ten  feet, 
and  the  aperture  of  the  object  glass  five  inches.  A  power  of  132  was 
generally  used  in  making  the  transit  observations.  I  can  state  from 
experience  that  the  defining  power  of  the  telescope  is  exceedingly  good, 
and  that  the  stability  of  the  mounting  is  satisfactory.  For  the  determina- 
tion of  the  error  of  coUimation  two  lenses  were  fixed  in  pieces  of  teak- 


iv  Introduction  to  the  Cape  Catalogue 

wood,  which  passed  across  the  openings  of  the  northern  and  southern 
shutters  of  the  Transit  room,  and  were  firmly  screwed  to  the  sides  to 
prevent  any  slipping.  The  centres  of  these  lenses  were  nearly  in  the  line  of 
collimation  of  the  telescope  when  the  instrument  was  horizontal.  The 
focal  lengths  of  the  southern  and  northern  lenses  were  150  and  34  feet 
respectively.  In  the  foci  of  the  lenses  were  placed  adjustable  silver  plates 
carrying  x  marks.  Substantial  pillars  were  erected  to  support  these 
marked  plates..  The  error  of  collimation  was  found  by  reversing  the 
instrument  both  upon  the  Northern  and  Southern  marks  and  taking  the 
mean  of  the  readings,  for  coincidence  of  the  centre  wire  and  the  marks,  as 
the  reading  of  the  line  of  collimation. 

The  correction  for  diurnal  aberration  was  incorporated  with  the 
correction  for  collimation  error. 

The  level  error  was  found  by  the  use  of  a  spirit  level.  In  1834,  1835, 
and  1836  the  pivots  appear  to  have  been  assumed  to  be  of  equal  diameters. 
In  the  subsequent  years  a  small  correction  was  applied  for  an  existing 
inequality  in  the  pivots.  The  azimuthal  errors  were  usually  determined 
from  consecutive  transits  of  o.  A,  Z,  <t,  B,  C,  and  r  Octantis,  or  of  /3  and 
y  Hydri.  When  consecutive  transits  were  not  available  the  azimuthal 
errors  were  generally  determined  from  absolute  Right  Ascensions  of  some 
of  the  above-mentioned  Stars.  The  adopted  tabular  places  were  based 
upon  Henderson's  Right  Ascensions.  In  the  adoption  of  the  instrumental 
corrections,  whenever  no  well-marked  change  in  the  corrections  appeared 
to  have  taken  place  in  the  interval,  the  mean  of  several  determinations, 
sometimes  made  at  intervals  extending  over  considerable  periods,  has  been 
taken  in  preference  to  individual  results. 

When  I  assumed  the  direction  of  the  Observatory  in  the  October  of 
1870  the  whole  of  the  observations  included  in  the  present  Catalogue  were 
reduced.  I  have  generally  accepted  these  results  as  satisfactory  j 
but  I  have  thought  it  proper  to  re-determine  the  azimuthal  errors  and 
re-reduce  the  observations  of  the  close  circumpolar  Stars.  It  did  not 
appear  to  me  desirable,  in  the  case  of  close  circumpolar  Stars,  to  trust 
to  the  unchangeableness  of  the  instrumental  errors  longer  than  was 
absolutely  necessary,  and  I  have  not  finally  retained  observations  of  the 
closer  polar  Stars  when  the  azimuthal  errors  adopted  were  based  upon  the 
assumed  Right  Ascensions  of  a  single  polar  Star  or  upon  the  mean  of  two 
such  determinations.  I  have  also  thought  it  better,  on  the  whole,  not  to 
retain  observations  of  0,  A,  Z,  c,  B,  C,  and  r  Octantis,  when  the  adopted 
azimuthal  errors  have  been  determined  from  consecutive  transits  of  /3  and 
y  Hydri.  The  effect  of  changes  in  the  instrumental  corrections,  errors  of 
adopted  rate  between  the  transits,  ^s  well  as  errors  of  observation,  affect 
largely  the  Right  Ascensions  of  close   circumpolar  Stars  when  reduced 


of  stars  for  the  epoch  1840.  v 

with  azimuths  determined  from  Stars  so  far  from  the  pole  as  y'or  even  /3 
Hydri. 

It  will  be  understood,  therefore,  that  the  Right  Ascensions  of  the  close 
circumpolar  Stars  of  the  present  Catalogue  are  perfectly  independent 
determinations. 

As  bearing  upon  the  Right  Ascensions  of  these  polar  Stars  it  may  be 
well  to  mention  here  that  the  day  numbers  used  in  the  reduction  of  the 
observations  contained  in  the  present  Catalogue  were  extracted  from  the 
Nautical  Almanacs  of  the  different  years.  The  constants  of  nutation  and 
aberration  adopted  in  the  present  Catalogue  are,  therefore,  9"*25  and 
2o"'36  respectively. 

I  have  not  found  any  complete  list  of  the  mean  Right  Ascensions  of 
the  Stars  used  for  the  determination  of  clock-errors  during  the  years  1 834 
to  1 840  ;  but  I  have  been  able  to  connect  the  epoch  of  the  present  Catalogue 
with  the  Greenwich  Seven  Year  Catalogue  for  i860  as  follows:  I  find 
from  an  examination  of  the  reductions  that  the  Right  Ascensions  of  the 
clock  Stars  used  in  1840  differ  from  the  corresponding  Right  Ascensions 
of  the  Nautical  Almanac  by  certain  small  quantities  which  will  be  found 
in  Table  I. 

I  find  also  that  the  Right  Ascensions  used  in  1839,  ^^S^j  ^"^  1837 
differ  from  the  Nautical  Almanac  Right  Ascensions  for  these  years  by 
exactly  the  same  quantities  when  allowance  is  made  for  the  changes  intro- 
duced into  the  Nautical  Almanac  for  1840  and  for  the  proper  motions  of 
the  several  Stars.  The  Right  Ascensions  of  the  Nautical  Almanac  were 
adopted  unchanged  for  the  reductions  in  the  years  1834,  1835,  and  1836  j 
but  the  Right  Ascensions  of  these  years  have  been  reduced  by  the  quantities 
— 0^*047,  — 0''033,  — o''037  respectively,  and  these  are  the  corrections 
which  the  Right  Ascensions  adopted  for  clock-error  require  to  reduce  them 
to  those  adopted  in  1840.  The  Right  Ascensions  are  thus  all  reduced  to 
the  same  epoch,  and  it  only  remains  to  determine  the  correction  required 
by  the  epoch  adopted. 

Table  I.  gives  the  corrections  to  the  Right  Ascensions  of  the  Nautical 
Almanac,  1840,  which  have  been  adopted  for  clock-error,  and  the  corres- 
ponding corrections  deduced  from  the  Right  Ascensions  of  the  Greenwich 
Catalogue  for  i860,  carried  back  to  1840,  with  the  precessions,  secular 
variations  and  proper  motions  of  the  Greenwich  Catalogue-  It  will  be 
found  that  the  Greenwich  Right  Ascensions  =  Cape  — 0**002.  But  the 
Greenwich  Catalogue  for  i860  requires  a  correction  of  —  o'*oi  for  epoch. 
It  appears,  therefore,  that  the  correction  to  the  present  Catalogue  for 
epoch  is  —  o'*oi. 

This  correction,  which  is  applicable  to  all  the  Right  Ascensions  contained 
in  the  Catalogue,  has  not  been  applied.

The  discordances,  although  systematic,  are  but  small,  and  depend  chiefly 
upon  the  results  of  one  or  two  Stars  unfavourably  situated  for  observation 
at  Greenwich  or  the  Cape. 

The  observations  of  the  Right  Ascensions  contained  in  the  present 
Catalogue  were  made  by  the  following  observers  : — In  the  year  1834  the 
transit  observations  were  made  by  Lieut,  Meadows,  R.N.,  until  the  month 
of  November.  During  the  month  of  November  they  were  made  partly 
by  Lieut.  Meadows  and  partly  by  Mr.  Thomas  Bowler.  From  1834, 
December  i,  to  1835,  October  8,  the  transit  observations  were  made  by 
Mr,  Bowler,  From  1835,  October  9,  to  1839,  October  30,  the  observa- 
tions were  made  by  Mr.  C.  P.  Smyth.  From  1839,  October  31,  to  the 
end  of  1840,  the  observations  were  made  by  Mr.  W.  Mann. 

The  Circle  observations,  of  which  the  results  are  included  in  the  present 
volume,  were  all  made  with  the  six  feet  Mural  Circles  by  Jones.  The 
apertures  of  the  object  glasses  were  four  inches.  The  first  was  mounted 
by  Fallows  in  1828-1829,  and  its  errors  of  form  of  pivot  and  defective 
divisions  have  given  rise  to  many  time-consuming  experiments,  much  dis- 
cussion, great  practical  inconvenience,  and  to  a  loss  of  labour  which,  at 
the  market  price  of  such  things,  would  have  paid  for  a  better  instrument 
many  times  over.  The  mean  readings  of  the  six  microscopes  have  been 
shown  to  be  nearly  sensibly  correct,  but  the  individual  readings  of  the 
separate  microscopes  differed  so  wildly  amongst  themselves  that  it  is  ex- 
tremely difficult,  when  the  revolutions  have  been  entered,  as  was  usual  at 
the  Cape,  for  only  one  of  the  microscopes,  to  feel  certain  that  the  correct 
whole  revolutions  for  each  microscope  have  been  adopted  in  taking  the 
mean. 

In  the  month  of  July,  1839,  the  old  Mural  Circle  was  dismounted  and 
the  new  Mural  Circle  by  Jones  mounted  in  the  same  position. 

The  new  Mural  Circle  was  employed  in  making  the  Circle  Observations 
during  the  remainder  of  the  year  1839,  and  to  August  12,  1840,  when 
the  Circle  Observations  were  stopped,  and  but  very  i^^  circle  observations 
were  made  after  that  period  until  1850,  when  a  general  re-observation  of 
the  Stars  of  the  B.A.  Catalogue  was  commenced.  The  observations  up  to 
1839,  October  30,  were  made  by  Mr.  Thomas  Maclear.     From  October 


of  Stars  for  the  epoch  1840,  xi 

31,  1839,  to  1840,  August  12,  by  Mr.  C.  P.  Smyth.  The  Circle  Observa- 
tions in  1840  were  almost  entirely  made  with  the  use  of  two  microscopes. 

The  two  Mural  Circles  occupied  very  nearly  indeed  the  position  of  the 
present  Transit  Circle. 

The  latitude  adopted  in  the  present  Catalogue  is 

33°  56'  3"*25  South. 

The  zenith  points  of  the  Mural  Circles  were  determined  by  direct  and 
reflection  observations  of  Stars  at  the  Meridian  passage.  After  1834, 
November,  both  observations  were  made  at  the  same  transit. 

The  mean  of  the  readings  deduced  from  Stars  observed  to  the  South 
and  North  of  the  zenith  were  separately  taken  and  the  mean  of  these 
means  adopted  as  the  true  zenith  point  reading.  It  has  been  usual  to 
adopt  mean  results  deduced  from  observations  made  at  intervals  extending 
from  a  week  to  a  month,  according  to  the  stability  of  the  instrument. 

When  the  North  Polar  Distances  were  determined  with  these  zenith 
point  corrections,  a  discordance  of  a  somewhat  systematic  character  appeared 
between  the  results  derived  from  the  direct  and  reflection  observations.  A 
correction  for  this  systematic  discordance  has  been  determined  in  a  manner 
similar  to  that  originally  proposed  by  Professor  (now  Sir)  G.  B.  Airy, 

Points  were  laid  down  with  the  zenith  distances  as  abscissae  and  the 
discordances  between  the  direct  and  reflection  observations  as  ordinates, 
and  a  curve  was  swept  boldly  amongst  these  points.  Corrections  for  each 
zenith  distance  were  then  read  off  the  curve  and  a  half  of  these  corrections 
applied  with  reversed  signs  to  all  the  direct  and  reflection  observations. 

The  corrections  thus  deduced  differed  considerably  from  year  to  year, 
although  there  was  a  rough  general  agreement  between  the  curves.  This 
is  probably  as  much  as  could  have  been  expected.  The  systematic  errors 
of  division,  flexure  and  other  instrumental  errors,  which  might  be  supposed 
to  remain  sensibly  unchanged  from  year  to  year,  must  be  presented  mixed 
up  not  only  with  mere  errors  of  observation  but  with  errors  arising  from 
the  assumption  that  the  mean  zenith  point  corrections  are  applicable  to  all 
the  observations  made  in  a  group  extending  over  such  intervals  as  a  month. 

Fortunately,  however,  these  discordances  are  not  very  great ;  the  ex- 
treme corrections  applied  to  direct  observations  being  confined  within  the 
limits  +  i". 

The  refractions  used  in  the  reductions  were  those  of  Bessel's  Tabulae 
Regiomontanae.  The  barometer  was  by  Jones.  Its  errors  appear  to 
have  been  small. 

The  exterior  thermometer  was  by  Dollond  and  was  placed  to  the  south 
of  the  circle-room,  screened  in  a  small  cylindrical  case,  which  allowed  free 
passage  to  the  air  from  end  to  end.

Introduction  to  the  Cape  Catalogue 


The  division  errors  of  the  Mural  Circles  do  not  appear  to  have  been 
determined.  The  flexure  was  considered  insensible.  It  was  at  first 
attempted  to  render  the  runs  insensible  by  continual  adjustments  of  the 
microscopes,  but  afterwards  the  runs  were  determined  and  allowed  for  as  a 
correction  to  the  mean  readings  of  the  circle. 

The  following  Table  exhibits  a  comparison,  for  the  principal  Nautical 
Almanac  Stars,  between  the  North  Polar  Distances  of  the  present  Catalogue 
and  the  Greenwich  Catalogue  for  1840.

The  mean  Right  Ascensions  and  North  Polar  Distances  given  in  the 
Catalogue  have  only  been  corrected  for  proper  motions  when  proper 
motions  have  been  assigned  to  the  Star  in  the  Catalogue,  and  in  these 
cases  the  adopted  proper  motions  have  been  used.     The  N.P.D.  given  in 


xiv  Introduction  to  the  Cape  Catalogue 

the  above  table  for  a  Bootis  is  derived  from  that  of  the  Catalogue  with  an 
assumed  proper  motion  +  i"*93. 

Attention  has  already  been  called  to  the  difficulties  which  have  been 
experienced  in  the  discussion  of  the  results  contained  in  the  present 
Catalogue  from  irregularities  in  the  readings  of  the  microscopes  of  the 
Mural  Circle  used  in  the  years  1834  to  1839.  The  errors  in  individual 
results  which  arise  from  this  cause  are  never  less  than  10".  Errors  of 
this  amount  in  results  for  well  known  Stars  are  of  but  little  practical 
importance  as  their  presence  can  be  easily  detected  and  they  can  be 
removed  ;  but  such  is  not  the  case  when  we  are  concerned  with  the  obser- 
vations of  Stars  whose  positions  are  only  very  imperfectly  known.  The 
difficulties  of  the  detection  of  such  errors  are  also  greatly  increased  when 
the  Right  Ascensions  have  been  observed  with  another  instrument  and, 
as  has  been  the  case  too  generally  in  these  Cape  Observations,  no  indica- 
tions of  the  magnitudes  of  the  Stars  have  been  given.  Under  these  circum- 
stances, with  every  care,  it  is  almost  inevitable  that  the  observers  should 
sometimes  pickup  different  Stars  with  the  two  instruments.  The  observa- 
tions thus  made  have  been  entered  in  the  books  for  reduction  under  the 
same  Star's  name,  and  systematic  errors  of  reduction,  generally  of  a  small 
amount  and  therefore  troublesome  to  discover,  have  thus  got  mixed  up  in 
the  results. 

When  I  assumed  the  directorship  in  the  October  of  1870,  the  prepara- 
tion of  the  work  for  this  Catalogue  was  so  far  advanced  that  the  mean 
places  of  most  of  the  stars  were  determined.  At  first,  I  threw  the  whole 
force  of  the  Observatory  upon  the  work  with  the  intention  of  completing 
it  as  rapidly  as  possible,  but  I  found  that  very  little  of  the  work  had  been 
systematically  examined,  and  I  shrank  from  the  responsibility  which  would 
have  rested  upon  me  of  publishing  a  Catalogue  of  such  results,  without 
a  revision  and  examination  of  the  work  which  I  was  not,  at  the  time, 
in  a  position  to  undertake.  The  work,  however,  has  never  been 
entirely  laid  aside.  I  have  carried  on  the  examination  from  time  to  time 
as  opportunities  presented  themselves  and  much  progress  was  made  in 
the  work  during  the  comparative  leisure  enjoyed  during  my  visit  to 
England  in  the  year  1875. 

The  publication  of  the  "  Cape  Catalogue  for  i860,"  and  the  observations 
of  the  stars  in  Lacaille's  zones,  which  have  been  made  here  since  1870, 
have  now  furnished  materials  for  a  comparison  between  the  places 
of  the  present  Catalogue  and  results  upon  which  reliance  could  be 
placed.  This  comparison  has  been  systematically  carried  out.  In  all  cases 
of  discordance,  or  apparently  large  proper  motions,  I  have  examined  the 
reductions  for  the  present  Catalogue  de  novo^  and  when  no  error  could  be 
•detected  in  the  reductions  I  have  endeavoured  to  control  the  determinations 


of  Stars  for  the  epoch  1840.  xv 

of  proper  motions  by  independent  comparisons,  I  believe  that  in  this  way 
all,  or  very  nearly  all,  the  errors  of  reduction  have  been  detected  and 
removed,  and  that  the  results  of  the  present  Catalogue  may  be  accepted 
with  some  confidence  as  correctly  representing  the  observations  and,  so  far 
as  I  can  form  an  opinion  upon  the  point,  the  observations  themselves  are 
good.  For  the  fragmentary  character  of  the  Catalogue  and  the  want  of 
correspondence  between  the  Stars  observed  in  Right  Ascension  and  North 
Polar  Distance  I  am  not,  of  course,  answerable ;  but  I  have  spared  no 
personal  labour  to  make  the  work  as  accurate  as  the  materials  and  time 
at  my  disposal  would  permit,  and  I  now  dismiss  it  from  my  thoughts  with 
the  feeling  that  I  have  at  least  conscientiously  performed  a  most  anxious 
duty.

the  B.A.C.  in  preference  to  Brisbane's  N.P.D.  which  appears  from  recent  Obser- 
vations to  be  correct.

1021,     From  a  comparison  with  Cape  Observations,  1874,  Brisbane's  N.P.D.  is   about    10'  too 
large.     The  proper  motion  assigned  to  this  Star  in  the  B.A.C.  appears  to  be  erroneous.

shows  that  the  proper  motions  of  this  Star  are  very  small,  and  that  the  values  given  in  the 
B.A.C.  are  erroneous.

I3J2.  The  two  observations  of  this  Star  consist  of  a  direct  and  reflexion  observation  made  on  February  nth,  1840. 
An  arbitrary  alteration  has  been  made  in  the  reflexion  observation  by  the  observer  apparently  to  make  the  two 
observations  agree,  but  it  appears  doubtful  whether  the  alteration  made  is  correct.  The  N.P.D.  is  larger  than 
Brisbane's  determination  by  about  7*  and  is  also  larger  than  the  results  of  recent  observations  by  about  the  same 
quantity.

1676.  The  N.P.D.  appears  too  large  by  about  35'}  but  the  observation  is  correctly  reduced 
as  entered  by  the  observer.  One  revolution  of  the  declination  micrometer  is  equal  to  40'  ; 
an  alteration  of  one  revolution  would  appear  inadmissible.

2201.     Brisbane's  N.P.D.  appears  to  be  several  seconds  too  small. 

2204.     The  right  ascension  of  this  Star  exceeds  that  resulting  from  Brisbane's  observation  of 

the  Star  5772  by  more  than  15%  and  as  there  is  no  observation  of  the  Star  in  N.P.D.,  the 

identity  of  the  Star  with  Brisbane  5772  is  doubtful.
